Dear colleagues,

 

We are pleased to announce the relaunch of the Patrick Cadell Memorial Bursary: www.scottisharchives.org.uk/cadell.

 

SCA acknowledges the importance of professional development across a range of areas. We are also aware that budgets for CPD are often limited and even approval for things like travel costs to enable you to attend a free event can be difficult.

 

Therefore the Cadell Bursary is accepting applications for all types of CPD costs. This could involve travel costs, workshop or conference fees, or purchasing materials like books and computer software. If you feel it is important and we can contribute to your development as an archivist, records manager, conservator or volunteer then we want to hear from you.

 

BURSARY AMOUNT:

There is no minimum amount for applications, and you can submit requests up to £200. Multiple applications will be considered but the maximum cumulative total should not exceed £200.

 

CRITERIA:

·         An archivist, records manager or conservator in a Scottish service, unable to get financial support for the CPD activity from their employer.

Or

·         A volunteer or student, with at least six months experience in a Scottish archive or records management service, who is working towards a career in the archive or records management sector.

 

APPLICATION PROCESS:

Applications are processed online using a very short form: www.scottisharchives.org.uk/cadell. In addition to some basic information, you will be asked to briefly outline how you will benefit from the bursary. Your application will be reviewed and we aim to respond within 10 working days. Please email [log in to unmask] if a faster response is required.

 

DEADLINES:

We are currently accepting applications up until the 21 March 2015. The total fund is restricted and applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

 

PAYMENT PROCESS:

SCA would prefer to reimburse expenditure incurred by the successful applicant, and will ask for proof of payment (e.g., receipts or invoices). If this is not possible we can consider advance payment if supported by accurate estimated costs (e.g., conference fee or estimated travel expenditure). SCA can also pay suppliers directly, such as a training provider. All bursaries must be paid before 31 March 2015.

 

Best wishes,

Ben
